[PATCH 00/13] submodule: convert the rest of 'update' to C

[PATCH 00/13] submodule: convert the rest of 'update' to C

[Atharva Raykar]

NOTE: This series uses ar/submodule-run-update-procedure [1]

This series builds upon the previous conversion work on 'submodule update' and
moves out all of that shell logic in 'git-submodule.sh' into
'builtin/submodule--helper.c'. Even though this patch series looks long, a lot
of it is preparatory patches and cleanup of unused functions that result from
this conversion. The real action happens at [6/8].

As with the other series, the goal is to be a faithful conversion, with no
change in behaviour.

This would be the last command whose logic would be moved into C, other than
'submodule add', whose patches have been sent already.

After this works out, we can invert the shell-C relationship and make
'submodule' a proper C builtin.

[PATCH 01/13] submodule--helper: split up ensure_core_worktree()

[Atharva Raykar]

Let's split up `ensure_core_worktree()` so that we can call it from C
code without needing to deal with command line arguments.

[PATCH 02/13] submodule--helper: get remote names from any repository

[Atharva Raykar]

`get_default_remote()` retrieves the name of a remote by resolving the
refs from of the current repository's ref store.

Thus in order to use it for retrieving the remote name of a submodule,
we have to start a new subprocess which runs from the submodule
directory.

Let's instead introduce a function called `repo_get_default_remote()`
which takes any repository object and retrieves the remote accordingly.

`get_default_remote()` is then defined as a call to
`repo_get_default_remote()` with 'the_repository' passed to it.

I'd find this easier to follow if this were just squashed into the next
commit. Both are rather small, but following the context of first adding
a function, then using it, instead of just adding it, changing the old
users etc. is harder than just having it in one commit.

I am in two minds about this. I initially had both these changes in one
commit, but Christian suggested I split the changes into a part that
refactors existing code (this commit), and one that introduces a new
helper (the next commit).

I guess I will squash it for now and see how it is received. Maybe
bringing down the "/13" might help get more reviews ;-)

[PATCH 03/13] submodule--helper: introduce get_default_remote_submodule()

[Atharva Raykar]

Before 8ef1d2b549 (submodule--helper: get remote names from any
repository, 2021-07-20), it was not possible to directly retrieve a
submodule's remote name within the same process, because
`get_default_remote()` used only knew about the current repository.

Now that we have `repo_get_default_remote()`, we no longer have to start
a subprocess that called `submodule--helper get-default-remote` from
within the submodule directory.

Let's make a function called `get_default_remote_submodule()` which
takes a submodule path, and returns the default remote for that
submodule, all within the same process.

We can now use this function to save an unnecessary subprocess spawn in
`sync_submodule()`, and also in the next patch, which will require this
functionality.

[PATCH 04/13] submodule--helper: rename helpers for update-clone

[Atharva Raykar]

The `update-clone` subcommand helpers that perform the parallel clone
and printing to stdout for shell script consumption, are renamed.

This lets us use the names `update_submodules()` and
`update_submodule()` for the helpers in the next patch, when we create
an `update` subcommand that does a full conversion.

We will get rid of these helpers in a cleanup patch at the end of this
series, when the `update-clone` command is no longer useful to us.

[PATCH 05/13] submodule--helper: refactor get_submodule_displaypath()

[Atharva Raykar]

We create a function called `do_get_submodule_displaypath()` that
generates the display path required by several submodule functions, and
takes a custom superprefix parameter, instead of reading it from the
environment.

We then redefine the existing `get_submodule_displaypath()` function
as a call to this new function, where the superprefix is obtained from
the environment.

[PATCH 06/13] submodule: move core cmd_update() logic to C

[Atharva Raykar]

This patch completes the conversion past the flag parsing of
`submodule update` by introducing a helper subcommand called
`submodule--helper update`. The behaviour of `submodule update` should
remain the same after this patch.

We add more fields to the `struct update_data` that are required by
`struct submodule_update_clone` to be able to perform a clone, when that
is needed to be done.

Recursing on a submodule is done by calling a subprocess that launches
`submodule--helper update`, with a modified `--recursive-prefix` and
`--prefix` parameter.

We also introduce `update_submodules()` and `update_submodule()` which
are quite similar to `update_clone_submodules()` and
`update_clone_submodule()`, and will supersede them.

When the `--init` flag is passed to the subcommand, we do not spawn a
new subprocess and call `submodule--helper init` on the submodule paths,
because the Git machinery is not able to pick up the configuration
changes introduced by that init call[1]. So we instead run the
`init_submodule_cb()` callback over each submodule directly.

This introduces another problem, because there is no mechanism to pass
the superproject path prefix (ie, `--super-prefix`) without starting a
new git process. This field is required for obtaining the display path
for that is used by the command's output messages. So let's add a field
into the `init_cb` struct that lets us pass this information to
`init_submodule()`, which will now also take an explicit 'superprefix'
argument.

Since you're doing some cleanup while you're at it, just changing this
in some earlier step to:

    define INIT_CB_INIT { 0 }

Is better, i.e. the NULL-ing out is implicit here. I have an unsubmitted
series that does that across the codebase.

We do inits here, and append, but it seems nothing clears this string_list.

[PATCH 07/13] submodule: remove fetch_in_submodule shell function

[Atharva Raykar]

This function has no more use in 'git-submodule.sh' after
bd82d7d467 (submodule: move core cmd_update() logic to C, 2021-07-20),
where we moved all of its uses to C, which has its own version for the
same.

This commit ID appears to be a reference to your own 06/13, so the OID
won't work once this is merged to git.git.

Perhaps just squash this into 06/13 instead?

[PATCH 08/13] submodule--helper: remove update-clone subcommand

[Atharva Raykar]

We no longer need this subcommand as the shell version calls the
'update' subcommand instead, which does all the cloning within C itself.

We also no longer need the 'update_clone_submodules()' and
'update_clone_submodule()' functions, so we remove those as well.

So in 04/13 update_clone_submodules() was renamed, but now we're getting
rid of it. Maybe there's not an easy way to avoid this churn, but if there is...

This subcommand was once useful for 'submodule update', but now that we
have converted the shell code to C, it is no longer used.

So in https://lore.kernel.org/git/87sfyglfl9.fsf@evledraar.gmail.com I
suggested squashing the shell removal, but I see now that here later in
09-13/13.

So yeah, having 08/13 stand-alone is easier to read then, but I think
then squashing all of 09-13 together is better. I.e. there's no reason
to remove these one at a time, let's just remove them all at once.

That also makes it clear that it's a remove-only change aside from your
"refactor while at it" of renaming this function:

    -static int do_run_update_procedure(struct update_data *ud, struct string_list *err)
    +static int run_update_procedure(struct update_data *ud, struct string_list *err)

We could either skip that, or split that later refactoring into another
commit.

Thanks for working on this, I'm exciting to see more of git-submodule.sh
go away. Hopefully these comments I left are useful / will aid future
reviewer readability of this series.

Thanks for your suggestions. I've gone through all of them, and I'll
reroll soon.

[PATCH 10/13] submodule--helper: remove shell interface to ensure_core_worktree()

[Atharva Raykar]

The 'ensure-core-worktree' subcommand is no longer needed since the
conversion of the update code from shell to C.

Let's remove the subcommand, and while we are at it, let's rename
'do_ensure_core_worktree()' to 'ensure_core_worktree()' to signal that
it is no longer a utility function meant to be called by another
function.

[PATCH 13/13] submodule--helper: remove run-update-procedure subcommand

[Atharva Raykar]

The subcommand 'submodule--helper run-update-procedure' is no longer
needed after the conversion of the bulk of 'update' to C.

While we are at it, let's rename 'do_run_update_procedure()' to
'run_update_procedure()' to reflect the fact that it is no longer a
utility function meant to be wrapped in another function.

It looks like the 6/x part of that still applies, but not the "/8",
i.e. this is now a 13-part series. Is this summary otherwise still
current with what's being submitted here?

Sorry, I meant [6/13], this is meant to be 13 parts only. Other than
that typo, the summary is up-to-date with what the series contains (I
wrote all of it today).

[PATCH v2 0/8] submodule: convert the rest of 'update' to C

[Atharva Raykar]

NOTE: This series uses ar/submodule-run-update-procedure, which is now part of
'next'. [1]

Since v1:
  I have incorporated Ævar's suggestions, and attempted to make this easier to
  review.

This series builds upon the previous conversion work on 'submodule update' and
moves out all of that shell logic in 'git-submodule.sh' into
'builtin/submodule--helper.c'. Even though this patch series looks a bit long, a
lot of it is preparatory patches and cleanup of unused functions that result
from this conversion. The real action happens at [5/8].

As with the other series, the goal is to be a faithful conversion, with no
change in behaviour.

This would be the last command whose logic would be moved into C, other than
'submodule add', whose patches have been sent already.

After this works out, we can invert the shell-C relationship and make
'submodule' a proper C builtin.

    -    Before 8ef1d2b549 (submodule--helper: get remote names from any
    -    repository, 2021-07-20), it was not possible to directly retrieve a
    -    submodule's remote name within the same process, because

    +    `get_default_remote()` retrieves the name of a remote by resolving the
    +    refs from of the current repository's ref store.
    +
    +    Thus in order to use it for retrieving the remote name of a submodule,
    +    we have to start a new subprocess which runs from the submodule
    +    directory.
    +
    +    Let's instead introduce a function called `repo_get_default_remote()`
    +    which takes any repository object and retrieves the remote accordingly.
    +
    +    `get_default_remote()` is then defined as a call to
    +    `repo_get_default_remote()` with 'the_repository' passed to it.
     
         Now that we have `repo_get_default_remote()`, we no longer have to start
         a subprocess that called `submodule--helper get-default-remote` from
         within the submodule directory.

         takes a submodule path, and returns the default remote for that

[PATCH v2 1/8] submodule--helper: split up ensure_core_worktree()

[Atharva Raykar]

Let's split up `ensure_core_worktree()` so that we can call it from C
code without needing to deal with command line arguments.

[PATCH v2 2/8] submodule--helper: get remote names from any repository

[Atharva Raykar]

`get_default_remote()` retrieves the name of a remote by resolving the
refs from of the current repository's ref store.

Thus in order to use it for retrieving the remote name of a submodule,
we have to start a new subprocess which runs from the submodule
directory.

Let's instead introduce a function called `repo_get_default_remote()`
which takes any repository object and retrieves the remote accordingly.

`get_default_remote()` is then defined as a call to
`repo_get_default_remote()` with 'the_repository' passed to it.

Now that we have `repo_get_default_remote()`, we no longer have to start
a subprocess that called `submodule--helper get-default-remote` from
within the submodule directory.

So let's make a function called `get_default_remote_submodule()` which
takes a submodule path, and returns the default remote for that
submodule, all within the same process.

We can now use this function to save an unnecessary subprocess spawn in
`sync_submodule()`, and also in the next patch, which will require this
functionality.

The above covers a lot of stuff, because this change does a lot of
things ;-)

The commit could be split into 3 logically distinct phases (two
independent, the third depends on the other two):

 - extract the part that uses the run-command() API to run
   "submodule--helper print-default-remote" from sync_submodule()
   and create get_default_remote_submodule() function out of it.

 - move bulk of get_default_remote() into repo_get_default_remote()
   and reimplement the former as a thin wrapper of the latter.

 - using the repo_get_default_remote() created in the second step,
   update the get_default_remote_submodule() created in the first
   step to work in-process without a subprocess.

but a bit larger granularity used here is probably OK.

There is this line after the post context presented here:

        strbuf_strip_suffix(&sb, "\n");
        remote_key = xstrfmt("remote.%s.url", sb.buf);

The LF was expected to come from the capture_command(), but it no
longer is needed after get_default_remote_submodule() switches to
use the in-process method.  In fact, the use of sb for the purpose
of forming remote_key is not needed.

    tmp = get_default_remote_submodule(path);
    if (!tmp)
	die(_("failed to get..."));
    remote_key = xstrfmt("remote.%s.url", tmp);
    free(tmp);

Yes, I think the new code leaks, and makes it impossible not to
leak, the returned value from get_default_remote_submodule() by
passing the call as an argument to strbuf_addstr().

Both of the two bugs pointed out here would have been easier to spot
if the commits were smaller, I would think, but as I said, a bit
larger granularity used here was still manageable.

Thanks.

Thanks, this was a good catch.

My initial series had this patch split up similar to what you suggested,
but I ultimately chose to favour the larger granularity to make the
whole series a bit shorter. This patch definitely towed the line a bit.

This call (and I think there is another call in this file) to
repo_submodule_init() is affected by what Jonathan's 8eb8dcf9
(repository: support unabsorbed in repo_submodule_init, 2021-09-09)
wants to do, namely to lose "struct submodule sub" as a parameter
and instead take the path to the module and the treeish name as
parameters to repo_submodule_init().

I _think_ I resolved the conflict correctly, but please double check
the result when it is pushed out later today, both of you.

Thanks.

Thanks for calling this out. There are indeed 2 such calls in 33cfc43433
("Merge branch 'ar/submodule-update' into seen", 2021-09-20) and both
look correct.

[PATCH v2 3/8] submodule--helper: rename helpers for update-clone

[Atharva Raykar]

The `update-clone` subcommand helpers that perform the parallel clone
and printing to stdout for shell script consumption, are renamed.

This lets us use the names `update_submodules()` and
`update_submodule()` for the helpers in the next patch, when we create
an `update` subcommand that does a full conversion.

We will get rid of these helpers in a cleanup patch at the end of this
series, when the `update-clone` command is no longer useful to us.

[PATCH v2 4/8] submodule--helper: refactor get_submodule_displaypath()

[Atharva Raykar]

We create a function called `do_get_submodule_displaypath()` that
generates the display path required by several submodule functions, and
takes a custom superprefix parameter, instead of reading it from the
environment.

We then redefine the existing `get_submodule_displaypath()` function
as a call to this new function, where the superprefix is obtained from
the environment.

[PATCH v2 5/8] submodule: move core cmd_update() logic to C

[Atharva Raykar]

This patch completes the conversion past the flag parsing of
`submodule update` by introducing a helper subcommand called
`submodule--helper update`. The behaviour of `submodule update` should
remain the same after this patch.

We add more fields to the `struct update_data` that are required by
`struct submodule_update_clone` to be able to perform a clone, when that
is needed to be done.

Recursing on a submodule is done by calling a subprocess that launches
`submodule--helper update`, with a modified `--recursive-prefix` and
`--prefix` parameter.

We also introduce `update_submodules()` and `update_submodule()` which
are quite similar to `update_clone_submodules()` and
`update_clone_submodule()`, and will supersede them.

When the `--init` flag is passed to the subcommand, we do not spawn a
new subprocess and call `submodule--helper init` on the submodule paths,
because the Git machinery is not able to pick up the configuration
changes introduced by that init call[1]. So we instead run the
`init_submodule_cb()` callback over each submodule directly.

This introduces another problem, because there is no mechanism to pass
the superproject path prefix (ie, `--super-prefix`) without starting a
new git process. This field is required for obtaining the display path
for that is used by the command's output messages. So let's add a field
into the `init_cb` struct that lets us pass this information to
`init_submodule()`, which will now also take an explicit 'superprefix'
argument.

While we are at it, we also remove the fetch_in_submodule() shell
function since it is no longer used anywhere.

It seems that this step does too many things in one step and makes
it harder than necessary for readers to understand what is going on.

For example, as far as I can see, the change to optionally allow
passing superprefix to init_submodule() can be made without anything
else in this step (i.e. "we allow superprefix from the parameter to
override what get_super_prefix() would give us, but at this step,
everybody passes NULL and the behaviour is unchanged" would be one
such step), later to be followed by a change that involves passing a
non-NULL value there, and it would become a lot easier to see who
passes a non-NULL super prefix, what value is passed and for what
purpose, with such an organization.

A 650+ lines single patch like this buries the details and forces
the readers to disect them out.  The change that teaches
run_update_command() to instead use capture_command() and gives the
error message to its callers may be another example of what may be
better done as an independent step before tying the whole thing
together.

It is larger than what I comfortably can spend my time on while
tending patches from other topics, so I'll skip reviewing this step
for now.

Thanks.

Understood. Apologies for the lack of updates on this topic, I will work
on organising this patch (and this series) better. I've taken a note of
the conflicts with other topics as well.

I don't mind the other topics being prioritized over this one. At the
moment I am not too confident about being able to quickly iterate over
this series. I'll try my best anyway.

This seems to overlap with Emily's 242655f2 (submodule: record
superproject gitdir during 'update', 2021-08-19) that came in
<20210819200953.2105230-5-emilyshaffer@google.com>.

Should I expect there probably needs a few more iterations for this
topic?  Depending, the "a submodule knows which superproject it is
part of" topic may have to be done in C on top of this topic.

I'll eject the 'es/superproject-aware-submodules' topic for now,
just to get today's integration going.

Thanks.

As ab/config-based-hooks-base topic from Ævar changes the way this
helper function gets called at 73367f2f (run-command: add stdin
callback for parallelization, 2021-09-02) and then again in 2aba2f5f
(run-command: allow capturing of collated output, 2021-09-02), this
part needs to be adjusted when the topics collide in 'seen'.

I _think_ I've resolved conflict correctly, but please double-check
the result when today's integration result is pushed out later, both
of you.

Thanks.

[PATCH v2 6/8] submodule--helper: remove update-clone subcommand

[Atharva Raykar]

We no longer need this subcommand as the shell version calls the
'update' subcommand instead, which does all the cloning within C itself.

We also no longer need the 'update_clone_submodules()' and
'update_clone_submodule()' functions, so we remove those as well.

[PATCH v2 7/8] submodule--helper: remove unused helpers

These helpers were useful back when 'submodule update' had most of its
logic in shell. Now that they will never be invoked, let us remove them.

Makes sense.  I briefly hoped that print-default-remote could go
after 2/8 but there is another user that is in the cmd_update() that
is not removed until 5/8 and removing them in a separate step after
we are all done like this patch does makes sense.  I am not sure
where and how the line to separate the two "remove" patches is
drawn, though.  Is there a reason why they need to be two patches?

[PATCH v2 8/8] submodule--helper: rename helper functions

[Atharva Raykar]

These two functions were prefixed with 'do' before the shell-to-C
conversion because they were utility functions meant to be called by
their non-prefixed counterpart.

Since those callers don't exist anymore, and these functions can now be
used directly, let's rename them to signal this fact.

Nice.

[PATCH v3 0/9] submodule: convert the rest of 'update' to C

[Atharva Raykar]

Since v2:
 - Rebased this series on top of a more up-to-date master branch.

 - Reorganized this series to (hopefully) make it easier to review, as per
   Junio's suggestions. I split up the patch that converts the rest of the
   update shell script to C into multiple steps. I also squashed the patches
   that removed unused helpers, as there was not clear criteria for it being two
   patches.

 - Plugged a memory leak while refactoring sync_submodule() to use my new
   helper.

Note on conflicting series:
--------------------------

This series currently conflicts with the work being done by Emily in
'es/superproject-aware-submodules' [1], mainly in the part where they cache the
superproject gitdir in the shell script that gets removed during conversion in
this series.

I have attempted to make a version of this series that is based on that topic [2],
and added the superproject gitdir caching code in C [3]. It passes the tests,
but I am not too confident about its correctness. I hope that branch can be
helpful in some way.

    -    `init_submodule_cb()` callback over each submodule directly.

    -    This introduces another problem, because there is no mechanism to pass
    -    the superproject path prefix (ie, `--super-prefix`) without starting a

    -    for that is used by the command's output messages. So let's add a field
    -    into the `init_cb` struct that lets us pass this information to
    -    `init_submodule()`, which will now also take an explicit 'superprefix'
    -    argument.

         While we are at it, we also remove the fetch_in_submodule() shell

         These helpers were useful back when 'submodule update' had most of its
         logic in shell. Now that they will never be invoked, let us remove them.

    +    We also no longer need the 'update_clone_submodules()' and
    +    'update_clone_submodule()' functions, so we remove those as well.

[PATCH v3 2/9] submodule--helper: get remote names from any repository

[Atharva Raykar]

`get_default_remote()` retrieves the name of a remote by resolving the
refs from of the current repository's ref store.

Thus in order to use it for retrieving the remote name of a submodule,
we have to start a new subprocess which runs from the submodule
directory.

Let's instead introduce a function called `repo_get_default_remote()`
which takes any repository object and retrieves the remote accordingly.

`get_default_remote()` is then defined as a call to
`repo_get_default_remote()` with 'the_repository' passed to it.

Now that we have `repo_get_default_remote()`, we no longer have to start
a subprocess that called `submodule--helper get-default-remote` from
within the submodule directory.

So let's make a function called `get_default_remote_submodule()` which
takes a submodule path, and returns the default remote for that
submodule, all within the same process.

We can now use this function to save an unnecessary subprocess spawn in
`sync_submodule()`, and also in the next patch, which will require this
functionality.

[PATCH v3 3/9] submodule--helper: rename helpers for update-clone

[Atharva Raykar]

The `update-clone` subcommand helpers that perform the parallel clone
and printing to stdout for shell script consumption, are renamed.

This lets us use the names `update_submodules()` and
`update_submodule()` for the helpers in the next patch, when we create
an `update` subcommand that does a full conversion.

We will get rid of these helpers in a cleanup patch at the end of this
series, when the `update-clone` command is no longer useful to us.

[PATCH v3 4/9] submodule--helper: refactor get_submodule_displaypath()

[Atharva Raykar]

We create a function called `do_get_submodule_displaypath()` that
generates the display path required by several submodule functions, and
takes a custom superprefix parameter, instead of reading it from the
environment.

We then redefine the existing `get_submodule_displaypath()` function
as a call to this new function, where the superprefix is obtained from
the environment.

[PATCH v3 5/9] submodule--helper: allow setting superprefix for init_submodule()

[Atharva Raykar]

We allow callers of the `init_submodule()` function to optionally
override the superprefix from the environment.

We need to enable this option because in our conversion of the update
command that will follow, the '--init' option will be handled through
this API. We will need to change the superprefix at that time to ensure
the display paths show correctly in the output messages.

[PATCH v3 6/9] submodule--helper: run update using child process struct

[Atharva Raykar]

We switch to using the run-command API function that takes a
'struct child process', since we are using a lot of the options. This
will also make it simple to switch over to using 'capture_command()'
when we start handling the output of the command completely in C.

[PATCH v3 7/9] submodule: move core cmd_update() logic to C

[Atharva Raykar]

This patch completes the conversion past the flag parsing of
`submodule update` by introducing a helper subcommand called
`submodule--helper update`. The behaviour of `submodule update` should
remain the same after this patch.

We add more fields to the `struct update_data` that are required by
`struct submodule_update_clone` to be able to perform a clone, when that
is needed to be done.

Recursing on a submodule is done by calling a subprocess that launches
`submodule--helper update`, with a modified `--recursive-prefix` and
`--prefix` parameter.

We also introduce `update_submodules()` and `update_submodule()` which
are quite similar to `update_clone_submodules()` and
`update_clone_submodule()`, and will supersede them.

When the `--init` flag is passed to the subcommand, we do not spawn a
new subprocess and call `submodule--helper init` on the submodule paths,
because the Git machinery is not able to pick up the configuration
changes introduced by that init call[1]. So we instead run the
`init_submodule_cb()` callback over each submodule in the same process.

While we are at it, we also remove the fetch_in_submodule() shell
function since it is no longer used anywhere.

[PATCH v3 8/9] submodule--helper: remove unused helpers

[Atharva Raykar]

These helpers were useful back when 'submodule update' had most of its
logic in shell. Now that they will never be invoked, let us remove them.

We also no longer need the 'update_clone_submodules()' and
'update_clone_submodule()' functions, so we remove those as well.

[PATCH v3 9/9] submodule--helper: rename helper functions

[Atharva Raykar]

These two functions were prefixed with 'do' before the shell-to-C
conversion because they were utility functions meant to be called by
their non-prefixed counterpart.

Since those callers don't exist anymore, and these functions can now be
used directly, let's rename them to signal this fact.

The "C rewrite" of the code [3] that unconditionally sets of the
submodule.superprojectgitdir varible seems straightforward enough.

Emily, how solid do you think your "superproject aware submodule"
topic already is?  Would it be stable enough to build other things
on top, or is it a bit too premature?

As of the version I sent today
(https://lore.kernel.org/git/20211014203416.2802639-1-emilyshaffer%40google.com)

Does the above statement still hold true today?

And more importantly, Atharva, are you on board with the plan Emily
suggested to have this one built on top of her series?

Thanks.

I think the current state of it is that Emily & I were having a
discussion about the semantics of that series. See [1] and [2].

That's still outstanding. I.e. I haven't been able to reproduce cases
where we actually need this caching for performance reasons (which is
the reason it exists), but even if we end up keeping it I'd think we'd
want something picked from the RFC patches I sent[1] to test the
"caching" v.s. "non-caching" behavior, and assert that they're the same.

Yes, I am on board with that. I have not been closely following their
series, but the places where it clashes with this series are minimal,
and look quite easy to port later to C. So I'm totally fine with it.

[PATCH v4 0/7] submodule: convert the rest of 'update' to C

[Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason]

This series rewrites "git submodule update" in C. It's a rebased and
re-rolled version of v3[1] submitted back in October. Per [2] the
author doesn't have time to push it forward now.

There was discussion in the thread at [2] about the interaction
between this and es/superproject-aware-submodules.

Per [3] I think it would be better to get this in first, as the big
outstanding question about the superproject aware submodules[3] was
whether it was an optimization or not. It's currently an optimization,
but whether it's needed is muddied by "git-submodule.sh" being a
shellscript and invoking "git rev-parse" in a loop, which a version
rebased on this could do in C.

Per the v3 CL of this series[1] there is a C version of the required
code for es/superproject-aware-submodules, but when I tried to rebase
it it failed because it's based on an older version of
es/superproject-aware-submodules which linked to the .git dir rather
than the working tree.

I.e. the C code[4] produces "../.git" in the tests, but we're
expecting "../..". I couldn't find the right API to get that path from
path.c et al, but it's presumably easy for someone more familiar with
it.

As for changes in this v4:

 * Rebased on master, it didn't compile due to my changes to the
   refs_resolve_ref_unsafe() API.

 * There was some back & forth about large patches v.s. split-up
   commits in previous iterations. This version squashes several
   patches together, because I thought a rename/add/removal of code
   that's all related (and really can only be done as one logical step
   without a major rewrite) was easier to look at than having to jump
   back and forth in the series.

   The resulting diff is large, but I think it's better than looking
   at it piecemeal. You can see what new code replaces what old code.

 * There's new formatting-only changes in [56]/7 that I added to make
   the 7/7 diff a tad smaller.

   The gitster/ar/submodule-update~3..gitster/ar/submodule-update diff
   (the real meat of the series) is "402 insertions(+), 422
   deletions(-)", and 7/7 here is "389 insertions(+), 418
   deletions(-)".

   So it's not much, but thaht churn before 7/7 makes the big change a
   bit logical change at the end easier to reason about.

 * I fixed a strbuf and string_list memory leak in the new code, and
   simplified one codepath that freed correctly, but could use a "goto
   cleanup" pattern to do away with duplication.

   There's still a *lot* of memory leaks in
   builtin/submodule--helper.c, but they're all (well, to the extent
   that I can extract signal from the noise) in existing code, or in
   generic APIs that uses which leak.

[PATCH v4 1/7] submodule--helper: get remote names from any repository

[Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason]

From: Atharva Raykar <raykar.ath@gmail.com>

`get_default_remote()` retrieves the name of a remote by resolving the
refs from of the current repository's ref store.

Thus in order to use it for retrieving the remote name of a submodule,
we have to start a new subprocess which runs from the submodule
directory.

Let's instead introduce a function called `repo_get_default_remote()`
which takes any repository object and retrieves the remote accordingly.

`get_default_remote()` is then defined as a call to
`repo_get_default_remote()` with 'the_repository' passed to it.

Now that we have `repo_get_default_remote()`, we no longer have to start
a subprocess that called `submodule--helper get-default-remote` from
within the submodule directory.

So let's make a function called `get_default_remote_submodule()` which
takes a submodule path, and returns the default remote for that
submodule, all within the same process.

We can now use this function to save an unnecessary subprocess spawn in
`sync_submodule()`, and also in the next patch, which will require this
functionality.

We say this, suggesting that repo_get_default_remote()'s signature is
just get_default_remote()'s plus a "struct repository *" (like most
repo_*). But..

repo_get_default_remote() actually take yet another argument - refname.

It looks to me that repo_get_default_remote() shouldn't take the
refname argument at all and that we should be using
refs_resolve_ref_unsafe() instead, like:

  +static char *repo_get_default_remote(struct repository *repo)
    {
    char *dest = NULL, *ret;
    struct strbuf sb = STRBUF_INIT;
  -	const char *refname = resolve_ref_unsafe("HEAD", 0, NULL, NULL);
  +	const char *refname = refs_resolve_ref_unsafe(
  +   get_main_ref_store(repo), "HEAD", 0, NULL, NULL /*, errno? */);

this makes the rest of the code a lot cleaner..

  +static char *get_default_remote_submodule(const char *module_path)
  +{
  +	struct repository subrepo;
  +
  +	repo_submodule_init(&subrepo, the_repository, module_path, null_oid());
  +	return repo_get_default_remote(&subrepo);
  +}
  +
  +static char *get_default_remote(void)
  +{
  +  return repo_get_default_remote(the_repository);
  +}

And because it's quite idiomatic to initialize the subrepo struct in
order to can call repo_* functions, we could even drop
get_default_remote_submodule() altogether.

As for why this wasn't the original approach, the only reason I can
think of is that we didn't realize get_main_ref_store(subrepo) was an
option.

[PATCH v4 2/7] submodule--helper: refactor get_submodule_displaypath()

[Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason]

From: Atharva Raykar <raykar.ath@gmail.com>

We create a function called `do_get_submodule_displaypath()` that
generates the display path required by several submodule functions, and
takes a custom superprefix parameter, instead of reading it from the
environment.

We then redefine the existing `get_submodule_displaypath()` function
as a call to this new function, where the superprefix is obtained from
the environment.

[PATCH v4 3/7] submodule--helper: allow setting superprefix for init_submodule()

[Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason]

From: Atharva Raykar <raykar.ath@gmail.com>

We allow callers of the `init_submodule()` function to optionally
override the superprefix from the environment.

We need to enable this option because in our conversion of the update
command that will follow, the '--init' option will be handled through
this API. We will need to change the superprefix at that time to ensure
the display paths show correctly in the output messages.

[PATCH v4 4/7] submodule--helper: run update using child process struct

We switch to using the run-command API function that takes a
'struct child process', since we are using a lot of the options. This
will also make it simple to switch over to using 'capture_command()'
when we start handling the output of the command completely in C.

[PATCH v4 7/7] submodule: move core cmd_update() logic to C

[Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason]

From: Atharva Raykar <raykar.ath@gmail.com>

This patch completes the conversion past the flag parsing of
`submodule update` by introducing a helper subcommand called
`submodule--helper update`. The behaviour of `submodule update` should
remain the same after this patch.

We add more fields to the `struct update_data` that are required by
`struct submodule_update_clone` to be able to perform a clone, when that
is needed to be done.

Recursing on a submodule is done by calling a subprocess that launches
`submodule--helper update`, with a modified `--recursive-prefix` and
`--prefix` parameter.

We also introduce `update_submodules2()` and `update_submodule2()`
which will supersede `update_submodules()` and `update_submodule()`.

When the `--init` flag is passed to the subcommand, we do not spawn a
new subprocess and call `submodule--helper init` on the submodule paths,
because the Git machinery is not able to pick up the configuration
changes introduced by that init call[1]. So we instead run the
`init_submodule_cb()` callback over each submodule in the same process.

While we are at it, we also remove the fetch_in_submodule() shell
function since it is no longer used anywhere.

I've read through all of the patches besides this one - I hope to get
through this one soon.

The diff is quite large, but I can't think of any way to shrink it down
at the moment.

[PATCH v5 0/9] submodule: convert the rest of 'update' to C

[Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason]

A rewrite of "git submodule" in C, except the trivial pass-through
wrapping code (basically getopt etc.) in git-submodule.sh. For a
greater summary & context see v4's CL:
https://lore.kernel.org/git/cover-v4-0.7-00000000000-20220127T143552Z-avarab@gmail.com/

Changes in v5:

 * Took Glen Choo's suggestion for a code change in 1/8, thanks!

 * A bit more mid-series churn to make the large commit at the end
   have a smaller diff. The result is that in v4/v5 we have in that
   last commit (but see below).

   - 2 files changed, 389 insertions(+), 418 deletions(-)
   + 2 files changed, 357 insertions(+), 388 deletions(-)

 * There were some logic errors in v4 around how we handled error
   reporting. A new 8/9 adds tests for the existing behavior, and
   we're now bug-for-bug compatible.

   It turned out that we were passing around string lists of errors
   etc. in a way that wasn't needed, i.e. the initial code can just
   report the error.

   Much of this was also simplified with my recently added
   die_message() function. I.e. sometimes we want to have a "fatal: "
   message, but exit non-128.

Atharva Raykar (6):
  submodule--helper: get remote names from any repository
  submodule--helper: refactor get_submodule_displaypath()
  submodule--helper: allow setting superprefix for init_submodule()
  submodule--helper: run update using child process struct
  builtin/submodule--helper.c: reformat designated initializers
  submodule: move core cmd_update() logic to C

Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason (3):
  builtin/submodule--helper.c: rename option variables to "opt"
  submodule--helper: don't use bitfield indirection for parse_options()
  submodule tests: test for init and update failure output

[PATCH v5 1/9] submodule--helper: get remote names from any repository

[Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason]

From: Atharva Raykar <raykar.ath@gmail.com>

`get_default_remote()` retrieves the name of a remote by resolving the
refs from of the current repository's ref store.

Thus in order to use it for retrieving the remote name of a submodule,
we have to start a new subprocess which runs from the submodule
directory.

Let's instead introduce a function called `repo_get_default_remote()`
which takes any repository object and retrieves the remote accordingly.

`get_default_remote()` is then defined as a call to
`repo_get_default_remote()` with 'the_repository' passed to it.

Now that we have `repo_get_default_remote()`, we no longer have to start
a subprocess that called `submodule--helper get-default-remote` from
within the submodule directory.

So let's make a function called `get_default_remote_submodule()` which
takes a submodule path, and returns the default remote for that
submodule, all within the same process.

We can now use this function to save an unnecessary subprocess spawn in
`sync_submodule()`, and also in the next patch, which will require this
functionality.

[PATCH v5 2/9] submodule--helper: refactor get_submodule_displaypath()

[Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason]

From: Atharva Raykar <raykar.ath@gmail.com>

We create a function called `do_get_submodule_displaypath()` that
generates the display path required by several submodule functions, and
takes a custom superprefix parameter, instead of reading it from the
environment.

We then redefine the existing `get_submodule_displaypath()` function
as a call to this new function, where the superprefix is obtained from
the environment.

[PATCH v5 3/9] submodule--helper: allow setting superprefix for init_submodule()

[Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason]

From: Atharva Raykar <raykar.ath@gmail.com>

We allow callers of the `init_submodule()` function to optionally
override the superprefix from the environment.

We need to enable this option because in our conversion of the update
command that will follow, the '--init' option will be handled through
this API. We will need to change the superprefix at that time to ensure
the display paths show correctly in the output messages.

[PATCH v5 4/9] submodule--helper: run update using child process struct

[Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason]

From: Atharva Raykar <raykar.ath@gmail.com>

We switch to using the run-command API function that takes a
'struct child process', since we are using a lot of the options. This
will also make it simple to switch over to using 'capture_command()'
when we start handling the output of the command completely in C.

[PATCH v5 6/9] builtin/submodule--helper.c: rename option variables to "opt"

[Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason]

Rename the "suc" variable in update_clone() to "opt", and do the same
for the "update_data" variable in run_update_procedure().

The only reason for this change is to make the subsequent commit's
diff smaller, by doing this rename we can "anchor" the diff better, as
it "borrow" most of the options declared here as-is as far as the diff
rename detection is concerned.

[PATCH v5 7/9] submodule--helper: don't use bitfield indirection for parse_options()

[Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason]

Do away with the indirection of local variables added in
c51f8f94e5b (submodule--helper: run update procedures from C,
2021-08-24).

These were only needed because in C you can't get a pointer to a
single bit, so we were using intermediate variables instead.

This will also make a subsequent large commit's diff smaller.

[PATCH v5 9/9] submodule: move core cmd_update() logic to C

[Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason]

From: Atharva Raykar <raykar.ath@gmail.com>

This patch completes the conversion past the flag parsing of
`submodule update` by introducing a helper subcommand called
`submodule--helper update`. The behaviour of `submodule update` should
remain the same after this patch.

We add more fields to the `struct update_data` that are required by
`struct submodule_update_clone` to be able to perform a clone, when that
is needed to be done.

Recursing on a submodule is done by calling a subprocess that launches
`submodule--helper update`, with a modified `--recursive-prefix` and
`--prefix` parameter.

We also introduce `update_submodules2()` and `update_submodule2()`
which will supersede `update_submodules()` and `update_submodule()`.

When the `--init` flag is passed to the subcommand, we do not spawn a
new subprocess and call `submodule--helper init` on the submodule paths,
because the Git machinery is not able to pick up the configuration
changes introduced by that init call[1]. So we instead run the
`init_submodule_cb()` callback over each submodule in the same process.

While we are at it, we also remove the fetch_in_submodule() shell
function since it is no longer used anywhere.

Re: [PATCH v5 9/9] submodule: move core cmd_update() logic to C

[Glen Choo]

I mentioned (out-of-mailing-list) that I was still looking at this, but
that the big sh -> c conversion is quite challenging for me to parse
personally. I'm still looking at it, but it will take some time..

I'm of the opinion that this patch would be a lot easier to review if it
were broken up into more patches, but it has always looked like this
[1]. The only real difference from [1] to this version is that this also
removes all of the dead code, which doesn't really hinder reviewability.

I don't think you have to go through the effort of splitting it up -
after all you were able to review [1], so given enough time I should
be able to read through this patch too :) That said, I wish that we
already had a split up patch for at least 2 other reasons:

- Junio pointed out that this conflicts with
  es/superproject-aware-submodules [2]. I'm not sure which should be
  based on which. If this does end up being based on
  es/superproject-aware-submodules, it would probably be easier to
  rebase as a series of smaller patches. Atharva noted that the
  conflicts are mild though, so maybe it's not so bad.

- Besides making sure that the sh -> c is faithful, a thorough review
  should hopefully catch unintentional mistakes. The size of this patch
  makes such mistakes difficult to spot. For instance, here's something
  I spotted only after trying to split the patch myself..

  > +	git_config(git_update_clone_config, &opt.max_jobs);

  Notice that we copy-pasted the option parsing from update-clone into
  module_update() but forgot to update the names.

My ideal patch organization would be something like:

- wrap some existing command in "git submodule--helper update" (probably
  run-update-procedure)
- absorb the surrounding sh code into "git submodule--helper
  update" one command at-a-time i.e. deprecating and removing the
  commands one at a time - instead of deprecating and removing them all
  at once (like this patch), or deprecating all at once and removing
  them one at a time (like v1).

I don't know if it's feasible or not; Atharva noted upthread that there
are some technical reasons why some things can be done in-process and
some cannot, but it might be a useful exercise.

Here's what I propose:

- If you think this alternative organization would be helpful for you
  too, I will attempt it. This will take a while, but by the end you and
  I will have effectively reviewed all of the code, so it should be easy
  to finish up the review.

- Otherwise e.g. maybe this is a huge waste of time, or you're already
  really confident in the correctness of the sh -> c when you reviewed
  the original patch, etc, I'll just review this patch as-is. I'd
  appreciate any tips and tricks that might help :)

- Orthogonal to patch organization, I'm still not sure if this will be
  rebased on es/superproject-aware-submodules or vice-versa, and I don't
  want either of us to sink too much effort before knowing the answer.

I think it makes sense to get this series through first, i.e. the
(supposedly) no-behavior-changing one, and then one that introduces new
submodule behavior.

Particularly because for es/superproject-aware-submodules the main
selling point is a performance improvement, which as I noted in the
review for it I've been unable to observe once the C<->sh layer goes
away.

I'm not saying it's not there, just that I don't think it's been shown
so far, IIRC there was some reference to some Google-internal network FS
that might or might not be helped by it...

I do think atomic changes that don't leave dead code for removal later
are easier to read & reason about, whatever else is reorganized.

I.e. not to have something where we replace all the running code, and
then remove already-unused code later.

On that topic, I noticed this series could/should have [1] fixed up into
it.

I think it might, but I really don't know. We'll just have to see, so if
you want to take a stab at it that would be great.

Maybe it's a good way forward. E.g. as af first small step we could turn:

    while read -r quickabort sha1 just_cloned sm_path
    [...]
    die_if_unmatched "$quickabort" "$sha1"

into version where we fold that die_if_unmatched() logic into the C
code, and then ensure-core-worktree etc.

I'm not really confident in it.

I've read it, tested it as well as I could manage etc. but it's still a
very large change.

Sorry, that one makes no sense since it's an artifact of the shellscript
implementation.

But I tested the below on top of master, and it passes all tests, which
isn't very promising...

I'll let the experts chime in, I don't think I can add anything useful
to the discussion.

I agree - otherwise patches aren't self-contianed and harder to merge.

Whether or not it makes sense, I think it gets the point across i.e.
that we think folding into C can be done incrementally.

A good enough (i.e. extremely comprehensive) test suite will all but
guarantee that no behavior has changed. Our test suite is nowhere near
that level and probably never will be, so we can't trust that things are
correct even if it passes tests.

So, for the sake of reviewability, I'll take a stab at reorganizing.
I'll be taking a long flight anyway, so I'll have big chunk of
non-company time to spend on this ;)

[PATCH v6 00/16] submodule: convert the rest of 'update' to C

[Glen Choo]

Here is a split-up of the last patch as I promised :) The intent was to
minimize the diff vs v5 instead of getting to a perfect end state; this
will almost certainly need a reroll.

This split-up isn't as complete as I had hoped - the last patch is still
rather large, but breaking that up already took more time than
everything else combined, and I think this organization is already
easier to review than v5. I'd appreciate any suggestions on how this
could be done [1] :) If inspiration strikes, I'll break it up further in
a reroll, but as of right now, I'm out of ideas.

I did some minimal review of the implementation, but I plan to do more
after sending this to the list e.g. I have not revisited the earlier
preparatory patches to see if my patches make sense with them. Where I
found issues, I left NEEDSWORK comments instead of fixing them because
the result would be easier to diff with v5 (the only differences between
this tree and v5's is the NEEDSWORK comments). I plan to fix
implementation issues (once we've spotted them in reivew) and the
NEEDSWORKs in the next reroll.

Let me know if the trailers make sense - this is my first time reworking
someone else's changes, so I don't think I did a perfect job at
attributing work. I also had to fiddle with the Signed-off-by to make
them resemble the v5 patches' Signed-off-by (ar/submodule-update seemed
to order them differently from v5, I'm not sure why).

[1] The difficulty in the last patch comes from the fact that we have
the --recursive flag handling in shell, and we are piping update-clone
into {run-update-procedure + --recursive flag handling}. Because of how
"git submodule" parses args, it is tricky to implement --recursive
without bypassing "git submodule" with "git submodule--helper update"
(the final patch does this bypass). On the other hand, it's difficult to
leave --recursive for last, because we would need to mimic the piping
and exiting behavior around update-clone and run-update-procedure.

Changes in v6:
- Split up last patch of v5 into patches 9-16.
- Patches 9-10 are preparatory work on submodule--helper.c.
- Patches 11-14 contain sh -> c conversions of the git-submodule.sh code
  surrounding update-clone and run-update-procedure.
- Patch 15 moves functions around in order to shrink patch 16's diff
  - If reviewers prefer, we could choose _not_ to move the functions
    around. If so, we can drop patch 15.
- Patch 16 introduces "submodule--helper update". Change the commit
  message to drop references to work done in previous patches.
- Add NEEDSWORK comments for potential issues. These will be cleaned up
  in the next version.

    -    We also introduce `update_submodules2()` and `update_submodule2()`
    -    which will supersede `update_submodules()` and `update_submodule()`.
    -
    -    When the `--init` flag is passed to the subcommand, we do not spawn a
    -    new subprocess and call `submodule--helper init` on the submodule paths,
    -    because the Git machinery is not able to pick up the configuration
    -    changes introduced by that init call[1]. So we instead run the
    -    `init_submodule_cb()` callback over each submodule in the same process.
    -
    -    While we are at it, we also remove the fetch_in_submodule() shell
    -    function since it is no longer used anywhere.

[PATCH v6 01/16] submodule--helper: get remote names from any repository

[Glen Choo]

From: Atharva Raykar <raykar.ath@gmail.com>

`get_default_remote()` retrieves the name of a remote by resolving the
refs from of the current repository's ref store.

Thus in order to use it for retrieving the remote name of a submodule,
we have to start a new subprocess which runs from the submodule
directory.

Let's instead introduce a function called `repo_get_default_remote()`
which takes any repository object and retrieves the remote accordingly.

`get_default_remote()` is then defined as a call to
`repo_get_default_remote()` with 'the_repository' passed to it.

Now that we have `repo_get_default_remote()`, we no longer have to start
a subprocess that called `submodule--helper get-default-remote` from
within the submodule directory.

So let's make a function called `get_default_remote_submodule()` which
takes a submodule path, and returns the default remote for that
submodule, all within the same process.

We can now use this function to save an unnecessary subprocess spawn in
`sync_submodule()`, and also in the next patch, which will require this
functionality.

[PATCH v6 02/16] submodule--helper: refactor get_submodule_displaypath()

[Glen Choo]

From: Atharva Raykar <raykar.ath@gmail.com>

We create a function called `do_get_submodule_displaypath()` that
generates the display path required by several submodule functions, and
takes a custom superprefix parameter, instead of reading it from the
environment.

We then redefine the existing `get_submodule_displaypath()` function
as a call to this new function, where the superprefix is obtained from
the environment.

[PATCH v6 03/16] submodule--helper: allow setting superprefix for init_submodule()

[Glen Choo]

From: Atharva Raykar <raykar.ath@gmail.com>

We allow callers of the `init_submodule()` function to optionally
override the superprefix from the environment.

We need to enable this option because in our conversion of the update
command that will follow, the '--init' option will be handled through
this API. We will need to change the superprefix at that time to ensure
the display paths show correctly in the output messages.

[PATCH v6 04/16] submodule--helper: run update using child process struct

[Glen Choo]

From: Atharva Raykar <raykar.ath@gmail.com>

We switch to using the run-command API function that takes a
'struct child process', since we are using a lot of the options. This
will also make it simple to switch over to using 'capture_command()'
when we start handling the output of the command completely in C.

[PATCH v6 06/16] builtin/submodule--helper.c: rename option variables to "opt"

[Glen Choo]

From: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com>

Rename the "suc" variable in update_clone() to "opt", and do the same
for the "update_data" variable in run_update_procedure().

The only reason for this change is to make the subsequent commit's
diff smaller, by doing this rename we can "anchor" the diff better, as
it "borrow" most of the options declared here as-is as far as the diff
rename detection is concerned.

[PATCH v6 07/16] submodule--helper: don't use bitfield indirection for parse_options()

[Glen Choo]

From: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com>

Do away with the indirection of local variables added in
c51f8f94e5b (submodule--helper: run update procedures from C,
2021-08-24).

These were only needed because in C you can't get a pointer to a
single bit, so we were using intermediate variables instead.

This will also make a subsequent large commit's diff smaller.

[PATCH v6 08/16] submodule tests: test for init and update failure output

[Glen Choo]

From: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com>

Amend some submodule tests to test for the failure output of "git
submodule [update|init]". The lack of such tests hid a regression in
an earlier version of a subsequent commit.

[PATCH v6 14/16] submodule--helper update-clone: learn --init

[Glen Choo]

Teach "git submodule--helper update-clone" the --init flag and remove
the corresponding shell code.

When the `--init` flag is passed to the subcommand, we do not spawn a
new subprocess and call `submodule--helper init` on the submodule paths,
because the Git machinery is not able to pick up the configuration
changes introduced by that init call. So we instead run the
`init_submodule_cb()` callback over each submodule in the same process.

[PATCH v6 15/16] submodule--helper: move functions around

[Glen Choo]

The next commit will change the internals of several functions and
arrange them in a more logical manner. Move these functions to their
final positions so that the diff is smaller.

[PATCH v6 16/16] submodule: move core cmd_update() logic to C

[Glen Choo]

From: Atharva Raykar <raykar.ath@gmail.com>

This patch completes the conversion past the flag parsing of
`submodule update` by introducing a helper subcommand called
`submodule--helper update`. The behaviour of `submodule update` should
remain the same after this patch.

We add more fields to the `struct update_data` that are required by
`struct submodule_update_clone` to be able to perform a clone, when that
is needed to be done.

Recursing on a submodule is done by calling a subprocess that launches
`submodule--helper update`, with a modified `--recursive-prefix` and
`--prefix` parameter.

[PATCH v7 00/20] submodule: convert the rest of 'update' to C

[Glen Choo]

This reroll contains another 'easy' preparatory patch and the fixups I
alluded to in v6 [1]. This isn't the split-up I described in the
footnote of v6, but it gets the big patch (patch 17) to what I think is
a reviewable state.

The diff between v7 and v5 is no longer just NEEDSWORK comments, but I
think it is easier to reason about. Patch 17 resembles v5 the most (I
will include a diff in a reply to that patch); everything after patch 17
is fixups (I did not squash them in because they would grow the diff
even more).

I will also leave a review on patch 17 since the changes were not
originally authored by me.

[1] https://lore.kernel.org/git/20220208083952.35036-1-chooglen@google.com

Changes in v7:
- Split the last patch of v6 (the big one) into patches 16-17.
- Patch 16 moves logic out of run_update_procedure() (because the
  command is going away), removing some noise from patch 17. This makes
  the update_strategy parsing easier to reason about, but at the cost of
  growing the diff vis-a-vis v5
- Patches 18-20 are fixups that address NEEDSWORK comments from earlier
  patches. Once maintaining a small diff vis-a-vis v5 stops making
  sense, I will squash them in.

[PATCH v7 01/20] submodule--helper: get remote names from any repository

[Glen Choo]

From: Atharva Raykar <raykar.ath@gmail.com>

`get_default_remote()` retrieves the name of a remote by resolving the
refs from of the current repository's ref store.

Thus in order to use it for retrieving the remote name of a submodule,
we have to start a new subprocess which runs from the submodule
directory.

Let's instead introduce a function called `repo_get_default_remote()`
which takes any repository object and retrieves the remote accordingly.

`get_default_remote()` is then defined as a call to
`repo_get_default_remote()` with 'the_repository' passed to it.

Now that we have `repo_get_default_remote()`, we no longer have to start
a subprocess that called `submodule--helper get-default-remote` from
within the submodule directory.

So let's make a function called `get_default_remote_submodule()` which
takes a submodule path, and returns the default remote for that
submodule, all within the same process.

We can now use this function to save an unnecessary subprocess spawn in
`sync_submodule()`, and also in the next patch, which will require this
functionality.

[PATCH v7 02/20] submodule--helper: refactor get_submodule_displaypath()

[Glen Choo]

From: Atharva Raykar <raykar.ath@gmail.com>

We create a function called `do_get_submodule_displaypath()` that
generates the display path required by several submodule functions, and
takes a custom superprefix parameter, instead of reading it from the
environment.

We then redefine the existing `get_submodule_displaypath()` function
as a call to this new function, where the superprefix is obtained from
the environment.

final polishing touches...)

[PATCH v7 03/20] submodule--helper: allow setting superprefix for init_submodule()

[Glen Choo]

From: Atharva Raykar <raykar.ath@gmail.com>

We allow callers of the `init_submodule()` function to optionally
override the superprefix from the environment.

We need to enable this option because in our conversion of the update
command that will follow, the '--init' option will be handled through
this API. We will need to change the superprefix at that time to ensure
the display paths show correctly in the output messages.

Note/nit on existing (pre this series) code, I wonder why we ended up
with this init_submodule() v.s. init_submodule_cb() indirection,
v.s. just doing:

Maybe it's worth it to declare the variables in the argument list
v.s. the function.

[PATCH v7 04/20] submodule--helper: run update using child process struct

[Glen Choo]

From: Atharva Raykar <raykar.ath@gmail.com>

We switch to using the run-command API function that takes a
'struct child process', since we are using a lot of the options. This
will also make it simple to switch over to using 'capture_command()'
when we start handling the output of the command completely in C.

If this series is re-arranged so that this comes first, this compiles
just fine & passes all tests.

So I wonder if we can peel this and perhaps other such easy to review
prep changes off into its own series, since this one has grown to 20
patches.

We could then hopefully fast-track those easy-to-review prep changes,
which would make the "real" series to follow smaller and easier to
review/grok.

[PATCH v7 05/20] builtin/submodule--helper.c: reformat designated initializers

[Glen Choo]

From: Atharva Raykar <raykar.ath@gmail.com>

The second hunk here will make a subsequent commit's diff smaller, and
let's do the first and third hunks while we're at it so that we
consistently format all of these.

[PATCH v7 06/20] builtin/submodule--helper.c: rename option variables to "opt"

[Glen Choo]

From: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com>

Rename the "suc" variable in update_clone() to "opt", and do the same
for the "update_data" variable in run_update_procedure().

The only reason for this change is to make the subsequent commit's
diff smaller, by doing this rename we can "anchor" the diff better, as
it "borrow" most of the options declared here as-is as far as the diff
rename detection is concerned.

[PATCH v7 07/20] submodule--helper: don't use bitfield indirection for parse_options()

[Glen Choo]

From: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com>

Do away with the indirection of local variables added in
c51f8f94e5b (submodule--helper: run update procedures from C,
2021-08-24).

These were only needed because in C you can't get a pointer to a
single bit, so we were using intermediate variables instead.

This will also make a subsequent large commit's diff smaller.

[PATCH v7 08/20] submodule tests: test for init and update failure output

[Glen Choo]

From: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com>

Amend some submodule tests to test for the failure output of "git
submodule [update|init]". The lack of such tests hid a regression in
an earlier version of a subsequent commit.

Nice catch!

Re my comment on 04/20 in <220212.86y22gxig0.gmgdl@evledraar.gmail.com>
at least 04..09/20 could be split into such a "trivial refactors for
later changes" series, and it would make sense to lead with this (and
any other deletions of already-dead code).

[PATCH v7 10/20] submodule--helper: reorganize code for sh to C conversion

[Glen Choo]

Introduce a function, update_submodule2(), that performs an update for
one submodule. This function will implement the functionality of
run-update-procedure and its surrounding shell code in submodule.sh.

For some things the references to SHA-1 are faithfully copying existing
test, but for new things let's use "object" instead.

[PATCH v7 13/20] submodule--helper: remove ensure-core-worktree

[Glen Choo]

Move the logic of "git submodule--helper ensure-core-worktree" into
run-update-procedure. Since the ensure-core-worktree command is
obsolete, remove it.

[PATCH v7 14/20] submodule--helper update-clone: learn --init

[Glen Choo]

Teach "git submodule--helper update-clone" the --init flag and remove
the corresponding shell code.

When the `--init` flag is passed to the subcommand, we do not spawn a
new subprocess and call `submodule--helper init` on the submodule paths,
because the Git machinery is not able to pick up the configuration
changes introduced by that init call. So we instead run the
`init_submodule_cb()` callback over each submodule in the same process.

[PATCH v7 15/20] submodule--helper: move functions around

[Glen Choo]

A subsequent commit will change the internals of several functions and
arrange them in a more logical manner. Move these functions to their
final positions so that the diff is smaller.

Shouldn't we do this earlier & avoid the FIXME comment in 10/20? (maybe
a subsequent fixup addresses it, haven't checked...)

[PATCH v7 16/20] submodule--helper: reduce logic in run_update_procedure()

[Glen Choo]

A later commit will combine the "update-clone" and
"run-update-procedure" commands, so run_update_procedure() will be
removed. Prepare for this by moving as much logic as possible out of
run_update_procedure() and into update_submodule2().

[PATCH v7 17/20] submodule: move core cmd_update() logic to C

[Glen Choo]

From: Atharva Raykar <raykar.ath@gmail.com>

This patch completes the conversion past the flag parsing of
`submodule update` by introducing a helper subcommand called
`submodule--helper update`. The behaviour of `submodule update` should
remain the same after this patch.

We add more fields to the `struct update_data` that are required by
`struct submodule_update_clone` to be able to perform a clone, when that
is needed to be done.

Recursing on a submodule is done by calling a subprocess that launches
`submodule--helper update`, with a modified `--recursive-prefix` and
`--prefix` parameter.

Ditto good fix-up, should squash this into the relevant commit.

Thanks a lot for picking this up! This split-up is much easier to read
than my v5, particularly with the end diff-stat of the "main" patch
being:

 2 files changed, 201 insertions(+), 216 deletions(-)

Instead of:

 2 files changed, 356 insertions(+), 388 deletions(-)

I think sending a version of this with the fixups squashed in as a v8
would be good, and perhaps addressing some of my comments.

I don't know if my suggested split-up of "prep fixes" into another
series would be a good thing to pursue overall, perhaps Junio will chime
in on how he'd be most comfortable in merging this down. I'd think
splitting such trivial fixes into their own series be easier to review,
but perhaps not.

For the Signed-off-by question on v6, I think you should add your SOB to
all the patches you submit. See this in SubmittingPatches:
    
    Notice that you can place your own `Signed-off-by` trailer when
    forwarding somebody else's patch with the above rules for
    D-C-O.  Indeed you are encouraged to do so.

Just running "git rebase -i -x 'git commit --amend --no-edit -s'" should
do it.

Combing through the patches again, I couldn't really convince myself
that the patch 4..9 prep fixes make sense as obvious standalone fixes,
except maybe:

- patch 4 submodule--helper: run update using child process struct
- patch 8 submodule tests: test for init and update failure output
- patch 9:  087bf43aba submodule--helper: remove update-module-mode

But, since the 'final' patch (ignoring the fixup!-s) is consuming a huge
chunk of the work anyway, here's an alternative patch organization with
the fixup!-s squashed:

= Move 'easy' and 'obviously correct' code from sh->C
- patches 8-9   Cleanup and introduce tests
- patches 1-4   Refactor existing functions, which enables..
- patches 10-14 Move 'obviously correct' pieces of logic from sh-> C

= Finalize move from sh->C
i.e. combine "run-update-procedure" and "update-clone" into "update"
- patches 5,7     Cleanup and prep
- patches 6,15-16 Shrinking the diff
- patch 17        Implement "git submodule--helper update" 

I'll send this if there are no objections :)

Yes that sounds good, or rather, I haven't re-looked at that in detail,
but I think if you think it makes sense we should go for it.

Or rather, we should really be aiming to produce a patch series that
makes sense in its current iteration, as opposed to optimizing for a
diff against some ad-hoc re-roll I produced a few versions ago :)

Thanks again for working on this & picking this up. It's great to see
progress in this area!

This seems to heavily conflict with "clone, submodule: pass partial
clone filters to submodules, 2022-02-04" by Josh Steadmon
<690d2316ad518ea4551821b2b3aa652996858475.1644034886.git.steadmon@google.com>
in both builtins/submodule--helper.c and git-submodule.sh.

It also removes the code that "submodule: record superproject gitdir
during 'update', 2022-02-03" by Emily Shaffer
<20220203215914.683922-5-emilyshaffer@google.com>, so what the other
topic ends up adding to the shell script needs to eventually be
redone in the C code.

I think "superproject aware" topic would see a reroll due to a
slight redesign.  I am not sure how solid the design of the
"pass down partial clone filter" topic is at this moment.

I may try to eject them tentatively and see how well this topic
plays with the rest of the topics in flight.

Thanks.

I can merge this to seen minus the above two topics and get it
compile, but it also seems to have some interaction with 961b130d
(branch: add --recurse-submodules option for branch creation,
2022-01-28) and makes the t3207, tests added by that other topic,
fail X-<.

Hm, I haven't looked at where the conflicts are yet, but I'll get to it
as I'm reviewing the rest of the feedback.

And on that note, what do you think of Ævar's suggestion to split off
the 'easy to review' and 'obvious' patches into their own preparatory
series? I wonder if this would make it harder or easier to manage the
conflicts.

Oof, that's embarrassing of me, let me take a look at that. There's a
nontrivial chance that the "branch --recurse-submodules" tests caught an
actual regression.

To save you some time, my v4 CL summarizes the semantic conflict between
the two:
https://lore.kernel.org/git/cover-v4-0.7-00000000000-20220127T143552Z-avarab@gmail.com/

I.e. Atharva Raykar had working C code to do what an older version of
that superproject config series was doing, but the semantics changed in
a later version. It needs some new usage of path.c (or similar) API
adjusted, but I didn't (and still don't) have time to look into it.

FWIW one thing I did as an extra sanity check was to run the whole test
suite with --tee with/without this series (or rather, my earlier
version), and diffing the full test-results output (which you'll need to
save in-between the two runs, and IIRC hack t/Makefile to stop removing
it on successful runs).

There's a lot of differences in output due to general issues in the test
suite output not being reproducable (writing timestamps etc.), but I
could not find any issues with the "git submodule" output being
different, of course we may not have tests, or it may be piped to
/dev/null....

But I've found it to be a helpful additional validation technique for
this series & others where I'm not as confident in the test coverage.

Thanks for the tip! I hadn't considered trying this, but this makes a
lot of sense. I can see this being even more useful for this series
since it's supposed to be a faithful conversion of sh->c.

It depends on how small an interaction the "obvious and easy" part
has with topics in flight.  In the best case, if there aren't any
the preparatory series may even graduate before the other topics
that interfere with the main part of this series becomes ready.

In a worse case, what the preparatory work to lay more solid
foundation wants to do may contradict what some of these topics in
flight want to do.  Such semantic conflicts need to be resolved
before the main part (and these interfering topics) can move
forward, and with "split off", the core of the contradicting wish
may become easier to see and what needs to be resolved may become
clearer.

So, I do not think of a way for such a split to make things harder
for later.  Of course, the "easy to review" and "obvious" part has
to be justifiable on its own, i.e. "a larger series wants to build
on this foundation and for it to work this part must be done in this
way", when the other topics wants to do the part in question
differently, becomes a much weaker justification.  But if it is
truly "obvious", it is unlikely that the benefit of the change
becomes harder to justify.

Looks like this is the case - t3207 caught a regression in how "git
submodule update" sets the refspec of nested submodules.

Looks like our concerns about the test suite are well-founded..

Hey Atharva! I'm working on a series that will teach "git branch" how to
handle "--recurse-submodules". I plan to do this in-process because I
think this will take less overall effort than using child processes, and
to make it happen, I'm planning to add a helper function like
"for_each_submodule()", which would call a C callback function on each
submodule.

This is conceptually similar to "git submodule foreach" and
for_each_listed_submodule() (though not exactly equivalent), so I'm
reaching out to you in case this work is already on your radar. If so,
and if it is coming soon, it might be easier to for me to base my work
off yours instead of duplicating our efforts :)

Thanks for reaching out. I don't have anything like this on my radar, so
feel free to go ahead with your plan :)
